MLWGS Security to the Rescue!

Sushi saved by Mr. Charles

On Monday, December 5th, MLWGS Head of Security Mr. Irvin Charles came to the rescue (literally) of a lost dog, who was making a home on Walker’s tennis courts. Some suggested contacting Animal Control. Fortunately, Mr. Charles was able to entice the little animal with some kinds words. He found a name and contact number on the tags. We are happy to report that Sushi was reunited with his family within minutes of Mr. Charles' phone call.

When asked how the pet came to be lost, the owner said she jumped out of her moving car Friday night on I-95. Good work, Mr. Charles!
